For those of us who teach comprehension strategies, Comprehension
Going Forward is as near to the
ultimate PD experience as we can get. Imagine a professional learning community
where you could sit in as…
· Ellin
Keene and Debbie
Miller swap best practices
· Stephanie
Harvey and Harvey “Smokey”
Daniels compare instruction
across the grades
· Anne
Goudvis and Tanny
McGregor share ways to infuse
comprehension into every subject area
· Cris
Tovani and Nancy
Commins apply the strategies to
help struggling readers, English learners, and special-needs students.
In Comprehension Going Forward, you’ll
meet up with 17 leading practitioners and researchers for an energetic,
personal, and frequently irreverent conversation on what great comprehension
instruction looks like, what an amazing range of applications it has for all
students, and what we can do better. Not only do figures such as Susan
Zimmerman and P.
David Pearson include their own
chapters, but, like any exciting conversation, they point out their favorite
parts of one another’s chapters—highlighting discussion topics for teacher study
groups along the way.
